Basically, I've been running my computer for 2 years and occasionally suffered from things like the processor overheating, dodgy software etc.
I started my computer up as per when I get this message in safe mode
"WINDOWS/System32/Drivers.Mup"
I'm no computer expert, but I have an intermediate level of computing knowledge.
I've been using a dodgy copy of windows XP for all this time and I have come to terms with the fact I will lose all my data (the only stuff im really worried about are beloved pictures from my days at Uni which are backed up on all my friends comps)
I have no idea what...
"WINDOWS/System32/Drivers.Mup"
means.
Shall I just say "screw it!" and spend £150 on a nice clean working version of XP or is there an easy way around this?

I feel you would be better off getting a legal copy of windows. Non genuine copies can not get all security updates so your computer is more vulnerable to attacks.

XP is looking for a file called mup.sys. Obviously it's been corrupted or deleted. It belongs in: C:/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/mup.sys. I uploaded my mup.sys to MegaUpload for you here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HF8W0SX7. Get a computer expert to put it in it's place on your HD.

Restore defaults(via jumper or taking battery out) to your BIOS or turn BIOS protection off if you can, this is caused mostly by antivirus programs trying to protect the MBR, this and that happend and now your at where your at ..
